Setzer

A family gets down to business

As early as 1705, the Setzer family was already cultivating wine. While the family was initially still heavily involved in farming and livestock breeding, viticulture was only a side note. It was not until 2001 that the family devoted itself exclusively to wine. Today, Hans and Uli setzer run the estate, supported by their children Marie-Theres and Eugen. 

A worldwide name

The Hohenwarth region is situated next to the Kamptal and Wagram valleys, and at 400 meters above sea level is significantly higher than the neighboring areas. The area has little rainfall, but there is no need for additional irrigation, as the vines have very deep roots to survive the drier periods. 

In the meantime the wine is exported to about 18 countries, contacts to 3-star restaurants exist. The Setzer wines are sent to the USA and Canada, as well as to China and Australia, almost spanning the globe.
